Day On (Instead of Off) at CCSF

Yesterday between going to Kaiser for a blood test pre-dawn (6:15 a.m. actually) and going to Berkeley with a friend at 3:45 PM, I needed to do some of the homework my students gave me.  (They really overdid it!)  One of my main class projects was creating a worksheet to get them to look at our web site and to get a letter out to them with the link to our web site and the worksheet as an attachment.  I think I accomplished that for both ESL 140 and ESL 142.  But as I was getting a picture ready to go online, I realized that there was something announced as a Day On (as opposed to a day off) on campus, so after I did a search in my e-mail and couldn't find any mention of it, I left what I was doing and went to campus.  There I found a set up for getting volunteers signed up and off to the task of picking up rubbish or doing inventory in technology (?).  I enjoyed talking to the people who were working there, but there were only about 75 people who turned up.  They sent me to Batmale 330, where I found two people working, but neither of them knew anything about the inventory. 


I enjoyed the human contact but soon returned to what I was doing.  Then I found out that there was another action--in Novato, where teachers were protesting on the premises of the ACCJC headquarters.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
